You have to pay for most catalogs with Sotheby's. Perhaps you get them free if you're a regular. They have so many auctions, you basically pick and chose which one's you want. You had to pay for the Barry Halper/Sotheby's catalogs. I think it was something like $80.

I get a number of catalogs, not always sure why. As I know it costs a lot to produce and ship them, I'm likely to place a bid or two to make it worth their while. I can say that I'm more likely to not forget to bid if I have a catalog lying around.
